The map notes (Map Layers sidebar - Map Notes checkbox) are useful for showing fixes that could usefully be made. However, the markers only show OSM notes - there is no indication of nodes or ways which have a fixme= tag, which could also be addressed. KeepRight used to mark nodes/ways that have that tag, but that service now appears to be out of date.
Would it be possible to optionally show OSM map data with a fixme= tag marked on the map, in the same way as map notes?
I like this idea, could potentially a separate checkbox.
You can use overpass turbo .
That’s an interesting idea. In a sense, the existing Map Data layer already exposes these tags, but not with the prominence that would enable you to spot unresolved issues. Do you see this being just a highlight on the map, or something more interactive, similar to how we have comment threads about notes? I ask because there’s possible interest in making one of the new vector map layers more interactive, but we haven’t committed to it yet and haven’t figured out how we’d coordinate style manipulation across the style and application codebases.
Either.
A simple indication, similar to Notes, to show that there’s a fixme here would be a great help, as it would show everybody that something needs to be checked. It would however, need to be an optional turn-on/off.
OSMAnd does have the option to show both Notes & Fixme’s.
Every time this topic turns up (and it does regularly) I have to point out that osmose has supported fixmes for a very long time and there is no need at all to reinvent the wheel.
Sure, if you want to open that separately & look for problems in your area.
However, having them appear on the main map while you are editing other things would be very helpful.
The point is that you can simply display an overlay with suitably selected osmose data.
Thanks, @SimonPoole, I did not know that. Would you please be kind enough to offer an example of doing this?
A marker on the map, with the same icon but maybe a different colour, would at least highlight where a fixme is present, clicking on it would show the text in the same sort of sidebar as a note. There wouldn’t be any interaction because fixmes’s don’t have a comment history.
It would be nice to have fixme’s expire (in the same way as notes) when they are fixed, but that would need them to be recorded a separate database.
That is true, and overpass-turbo has also been suggested, but it has to be said that neither of those tools are friendly for casual mappers. Having markers on the main OSM map (as an option) would make looking for them as easy as notes currently are.
They usually require interaction to fix them, my country is full of fixme due to initial imports over 10 years ago, these fixme require moving nodes into positions real, change of obsolete key=value,…
Wouldn’t it be a better suggestion to integrate them into OSM ID? In OSM ID you can see osmose issues but for some reason it doesn’t show the fixme.
That’s what OSMOSE already has …
